Jarraff Industries, headquartered in St. Peter, MN, announces the execution of an agreement to sell 100% of its capital stock to PRINOTH, which is one of the leading global manufacturers of snow groomers, tracked vehicles and vegetation management vehicles and equipment. The agreement was effective October 1.

The transaction is a positive, strategic fit for both companies. Jarraff Industries brings a lineup of specialized equipment that will enhance and complement the existing line of PRINOTH products like the Hydraulic Mulcher heads, RAPTOR line of mulcher carriers and the PANTHER line of crawler carriers. It will also further increase PRINOTH's presence in the US.

Heidi Boyum, president of Jarraff Industries stated, “I am very proud of the legacy we have established and nurtured over the past 42 years. As a family run and owned business, I view today’s transaction as an opportunity to ensure that the business, customers, employees, and the community we are in continue growing while joining an even larger family.” Boyum will continue to work as a strategic advisor to Jarraff Industries and PRINOTH.

“This acquisition confirms PRINOTH’s commitment to invest in and grow its presence in the specialized off-road equipment business, better positioning it in the high-demand utilities right of way and maintenance segment," Klaus Tonhäuser, President of the PRINOTH Group, commented. "Jarraff’s specialized product portfolio and strong presence in these critical market segments will provide our customers access to industry-leading products backed by our brand, distribution, and manufacturing experience”.

"Jarraff’s products provide the industry’s safest and most efficient solution for clearing and maintaining utility rights-of-way," added Alessandro Ferrari, PRINOTH Tracked Vehicles CEO and the new CEO of Jarraff Industries. "Furthermore, Jarraff’s culture of working close and responding fast to customer demands are an ideal fit with PRINOTH’s culture of being customer-centric and agile.”

Steve VanRoekel will remain as the Chief Operating Officer for Jarraff Industries and will count on the existing experienced management team to continue managing their operations.
